Oats & Rice

Oats & Rice founder Shiyi created the company in 2015, short after graduating from Winchester School of Art in the UK. She threw herself into the traditional textile business with outpouring curiosity and passion. In the Kawashima Textile School in Kyoto, she studied kasuri (ikat) weaving technique.

Our Story

The Longship is a fashion and lifestyle store in the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland.  We are a family business and pride ourselves in supporting other independent designers and craftspeople – from Orkney and beyond.

We believe each piece in our store has its own unique story: it starts with the people who make it, and the place it comes from.  It continues when we find it, select it, and bring it to Orkney.  And the end of the story…is in your hands, and in your home.
